Abstract
A ball attach tool may include a housing a valve module. The housing may include a plurality of pick-up holes configured to pick up balls when a reduced pressure is applied thereto. The valve module may control a reduced pressure applied to the pick-up holes.
Claims20
A ball attach tool comprising:
- a housing including a plurality of pick-up holes configured to pick up balls when a reduced pressure is applied thereto, wherein the housing comprises:
- a main line configured to have the reduced pressure applied thereto, the main line comprising:
- a first line extending downward from an upper surface of the housing in a vertical direction;
- and
- a second line extending from a lower end of the first line in a horizontal direction and connected to a plurality of branch lines;
- the plurality of branch lines branched from the main line and connected to the plurality of pick-up holes;
- a first block including the first line;
- a second block contacting a lower surface of the first block and including the second line;
- and
- a holder contacting a lower surface of the second block and including the plurality of pick-up holes;
- and
- a valve module configured to control the reduced pressure applied to the plurality of pick-up holes.

A ball attach tool, comprising:
- a housing including a plurality of pick-up holes configured to pick up balls when a reduced pressure is applied thereto;
- and
- a valve module configured to control the reduced pressure applied to the plurality of pick-up holes, wherein the valve module comprises:
- a valve hole formed in the housing along a vertical direction;
- a valve stem movably received in the valve hole to selectively stop the reduced pressure from being applied to the plurality of pick-up holes;
- a resilient member configured to resiliently support the valve stem in a downward direction;
- a stopper configured to selectively restrict a downward movement of the valve stem by the resilient member;
- and
- a controller configured to control an operation of the stopper.
